Quote:
"yak meat, with its sweet, slightly gamy taste
"an acre of pasture can support as many as four yaks, as opposed to a single
beef steer
Note:
(a) yak
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yak
(a long-haired bovine found throughout the Himalayan region of south Central
Asia, the Tibetan Plateau and as far north as Mongolia and Russia; section
1 Etymology)
(b) onery (adj; alternation of ordinary): "having an irritable disposition :
CANTANKEROUS"
(c) The report says, "For these random acts of violence, this shaggy rogue
was neither put down nor sent to the barn without hay."
The last clause is a play on the notion that a mishaving child is "sent to [
his] room without dinner" as punishment.
(d) wax (vi): "to assume a (specified) characteristic, quality, or state :
become "
(e) pirogi or
pierogi
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierogi
Oops, it looks like 餃子.
(f) The last sentence of the report states, "Once you go yak, you never go
back."
It paraphrases "Once you go Mac, you never go back" where Mac is not
McDonald's but Apple Macintosh (computer). |
